Highly remarkable: a herd of 150 Holstein cows with 25 daughters of Paclamar Astronaut, Paclamar Bootmaker and Round Oak Rag Apple Elevation! And: more of their daughters are on the way. In the meantime, the first two-year-olds by Pawnee Farm Arlinda Chief are coming into production; ‘Fantastic 2-year-olds,’ tells breeder Blake Hansen (40) from Hansen Dairy in Iowa, who is now using Blackstar and Sexation as well. Yes, we are writing in 2019, but these legends were born 45 years ago, or longer. Why is Blake using these sires?
